Five Reasons Conservatives Should Vote Libertarian

2. Libertarians support the absolute right to bear arms

The Libertarian platform states that “the only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired property — against aggression.” The party affirms the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and they oppose the prosecution or limitation of individuals for exercising said right.

Libertarians also uphold that private property owners should be free to establish their own conditions regarding the presence of personal defense weapons on their own property. And though varying degrees of gun law rollback are accepted among different libertarians, like in any other group, a large number of them oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition.
